What is being read on the New York underground?

Fotogaleria

It began in 2008 and has never stopped since. The first photographs seem to have been captured by mobile phone, the last ones, from a few hours ago have already been shot using a Canon 5D. Ourit Ben Haïm, isn’t a photographer, not even close. She studied Literature, Philosophy and History; today she tells stories. In the Underground New York Public Library series she depicts the New York underground ‘reading riders’. The ‘reading riders’ or travelling readers’, who knows. In the end, these photographs end up formulating a ‘visual library’ in order to recollect all the ‘profound’ journeys that the readers can make within themselves. And together. AR
